What configuration allows to disable problem detection during certain times in Dynatrace?

Disabling problem detection during specific times in Dynatrace is effectively achieved through maintenance windows settings. This functionality is designed to allow users to specify periods when certain monitoring activities, such as alert generation and problem detection, can be temporarily disabled. This is particularly useful during scheduled maintenance periods or known downtime, where alerts for performance issues might otherwise create unnecessary noise or false positives.

By defining these maintenance windows, users can ensure that the monitoring system does not generate alerts for issues that are already acknowledged and planned for resolution, streamlining operations and helping teams focus on genuine problems that arise outside of these windows.

User-defined thresholds, downtime schedules, and alert configurations do have roles in the alerting and monitoring landscape but do not specifically address the need to disable problem detection for planned maintenance periods with the same level of efficacy or intent as maintenance windows do.
